I think easiest way to getting current module name is using magic __NAMESPACE__ constant.

In your controller, try this:

$modulename = explode('\\', __NAMESPACE__, -1);
var_dump($modulename); // [0] => 'Application'

You can also get a list of loaded modules via ModuleManager like this:

$manager = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('ModuleManager');
$manager->getLoadedModules();

I really love the idea of module manager clean and concise but how i can get the name of current module from $manager->getLoadedModules();

@PradeepSrivastava The answer is you can't. $manager->getLoadedModules(); returns an array which contains the names of the loaded modules. You can for example check weither a module is loaded or not (if(in_array('moduleName',$manager->getLoadedModules())))

You can get it from the current namespace.

Within your controller action you can do this :

public function initAction()
{
  parent::initAction();
  $controllerClass = get_class($this);
  $moduleName = substr($controllerClass, 0, strpos($controllerClass, '\\'));
  die($moduleName);  
}

Example :

namespace : Administration\Controller;
Output : Administration
